/AFK: Broken Resolutions Edition

It’s January 2nd, which means that 80% of you have already broken at least one New Year’s resolution and are now contemplating a jump into a shark pit of shame. For the 20% of us who are still awesome, we will look at your shredded remains and toast our steadfast devotion to these sacred resolutions.

The RIFT — On RIFT: Reservations, Concerns, Expectations and Longevity“This, and this alone is what reinforced my belief that Trion is sticking to its word, and working their butts off to produce a game that launches with the future in mind. This is what I expect from them, and if – for some odd reason – they don’t fulfill their end of this… I will be the first to admit it.”

MMO Gamer Chick — Torn by Rift: Beta Impressions“Let’s just put it this way. Rift personified is a refined gentleman, cuts a great figure and has all the right moves, but hang out with him long enough and you’ll find he’s just your regular Joe who likes his joe regular.”

Kill Ten Rats — Looting“We already accept inventory mechanics in which 100 metal ingots take up as much space as a ring, bears sometimes carry swords and multiple hides but have only a 50% chance to have one leg or tooth on each corpse, gold bars are worth less than gold coins, and gold coins take up no space.”

I don’t think the revamp is a failure. First off, it’s a lot more fun to play through. Second, we’re still in the stage where people are getting their mains geared/rep/what have you. The alt scene will be quiet for a few more months. Then decide if it works or not.
